Setting up of a Nursery is a long-term venture, and requires planning and expertise. In a Nursery , plants are nurtured by providing them with optimum growing conditions to ensure germination. Nursery saves considerable time for the raising of the next crop. Among flower crops, majority of the annuals are propagated by seeds and require a Nursery for raising the seedlings. Herbaceous perennials need nurseries for sowing of seeds and planting of cuttings for rooting and establishment. Woody perennials are grown from seeds for multiplying the rootstocks from cuttings, layers and through grafts to perpetuate the same genetic properties .
